About the role
We are seeking a technically skilled Analyst to join our Energy Policy and
Regulations team. The role focuses on distribution-system planning and
operations, particularly load-flow analysis and involves assessing the impact
of emerging technologies at the sub-distribution level. The Analyst will
develop data-driven insights to support reliable DISCOM operations while
contributing to policy-relevant research on India’s energy transition. The
position also requires a strong understanding of the Indian power sector, along
with the ability to manage project deliverables and communicate findings
effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
Responsibilities
* Lead research on distribution network load flows to assess impacts of DRE
integration, EV uptake, rooftop solar, and optimal sizing/siting of BESS at
feeder and DT levels.
* Track and analyse policies, regulations, and emerging technologies in the
distribution sector to generate data-driven insights for decision-making.
* Evaluate state-level power system characteristics, including load curves
and planning criteria, to inform infrastructure upgrade needs.
* Collaborate with state and national stakeholders to develop and advance
actionable recommendations.
* Produce policy briefs, technical reports, presentations, and journal
articles to communicate findings.
* Travel across India, as required, to support stakeholder engagement and
project execution.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master's degree in a relevant field, such as Electrical and
Electronics Engineering and Energy and Power Systems.
Skill Set
* Experience with distribution network modelling and simulation tools (e.g.
DIgSILENT and Python/R-based energy models) or transmission planning studies.
* Strong understanding of DISCOM regulations, distribution planning criteria,
and demand forecasting practices in India.
* Familiarity with emerging technologies such as EVs, rooftop solar, energy
efficiency, and solarised agricultural pumps.
* Strong analytical and research skills, with proficiency in data analysis
and the ability to interpret complex policy and regulatory documents.
* Excellent written and verbal communication, along with strong presentation
skills.
